Formerly men lived and died without knowing whether London streets were paved with gold, but now they were able to visit the metropo lis on any occasion of great public interest. Alto gether this fair at To wce,ster was most successful, and Lord and Lady PALMERSTON showed their usual tact and discernment in thus coming forward to take a part in an undertaking which so deeply c3ncerned the welfare of many. There is some compensation to be found for the lovers of the picturesque and effective in the novel and striking scenes which present themselves to the eye in a land which yet suffers from a lack of the comforts and inconveniences of civilisation. The Anglo-Indian, while he undoubtedly surrenders many of the luxuries to which he has been accus tomed, and is indeed compelled to forego some of those appliances of modern skill and energy which he has learned to look upon almost as necessaries, is yet able in some degree to break the weariness of a routine existence, and to obtain that fresh sensation which the ennuyes of the West• end pine for, among the novel and varied scenes that present themselves before him. The durbar held at Simla some six weeks ago was one of those picturesque spectacles, and for many days the vicinity had been thronged with the gorgeous rajahs and their gaily dressed trains, waiting to do honour to the ruler they had known and honoured so long. Sir JOHN LAWRENCE bears a name which commands the respect and affection of these wild chieftains of the hills, and they come from all sides to show him due respect at his durbar, It is a rare event for a Governor-General to be SO well known in the remote districts over which he rules, but Sir JOHN is familiar with their language, their customs, and their ways, and can distinguish each prominent chief by recollection. Oae old raj ah, who had assisted in drawing the Ghoorkas from the hills, was well known to the Viceroy, who kindly greeted him and laid his hand on his shoulder. The old chief, de lighted at the friendly notice of the Governor, threw himself at his feet. When all the introductions were concluded, Sir JOHN proceeded to address the assembly, and accomplished the feat of speaking in their own language. In brief and forcible terms he reminded them of what the British Government had done for them in freeing their coun try from the Ghoorkas ; he thanked them for •the loyalty they had always shown, and assured them that the best means cf proving their gratitude to their British rulers was by im proving the condition of their people. "Do for them," said Sir JOHN, " what the British Governs ment has done for you. Rule them for their good, not solely for your own." Further, he charged them to spread education, to educate their sons, and they, in their turn, would educate the people. There is no man, said the wise Viceroy, rich or poor, rajah or ryot, who is not the better for know ledge. This is an important step in the management of a country like India ; and we may hope for the rapid advance of enlightenment and knowledge when it is thus recommended to the people. The chiefs assembled at the Darbar were profuse in their protestations of loyalty and devotion,and manifested unmistakeable delight at being addressed in their own tongue. It is only to be lamented that so valuable an acquire ment should hitherto have been so rare. He who cannot speak the tongue of the people he governs cannot understand their wants or their ways. Ha is at the mercy of interpreters who, with the best intentions, may often dietert the truth. Let us hope that a new era has commenced, and that henceforward such a barrier will be gradually but surely destroyed. The wonderful Correspondence of the First NAPOLEON has now reached its fifteenth volume, and as each successive publication makes its ap pearance new light is thrown upon the universal genius and amazing energy of its great author. No chapter of the most sensational romance, and few pages of history, can surpass these marvellous records of comparatively recent events, now issuing from the press at Paris. If new evidence of the des. potic character of the great" BONAPARTE" occasion ally startles the free-born British reader, that feeling is almost forgotten in admiring wonder at the versa tility and comprehensiveness of the knowledge and vigilance continually exercised in every department of State; by one great authority—equally great — Equally well versed is matters of construction or detail—in the guidance of an army, or the guardian ship of a school-girl. In proof of which latter qualification we might cite some admirable letters in this now volume, on the education of the daughters of deceased officers, at the Imperial Col. lege at Econen. The present Emperor could not have erected a grander monument to the memory of his great predecessor than he has done by the publica tion of this most interesting correspondence. The history of his uncle has been the study and example of his life—at times an encouragement, and occa sionally a warning. He has proved an apt pupil. It is only once in a cycle of centuries that a great genius like the First NAPOLEON makes his appear ance, and his exceptional history may well be re• garded as a beacon for the guidance or admonition of lesser men. As we reach this season of the year the prospects of the harvest begin to be one of the first topics of the day. Political excitement has temporarily died oat with the close of the session, and has left us to watch the vagaries of the weather, and to speculate upon the relative chances of fair or foul. On the whole the prospects of the harvest appear to be moderate. There is no anticipation of such a boun tiful store as last year filled our garners, but neither is there reason to fear a thoroughly bad season. The uninitiated only look at the special times of haymaking or reaping, but the farmer knows that the changes of the whole spring and summer must be taken into account in estimating a season. The warm, beautiful days in April were thought by some to foretel a summer as fine as that of 1863, but such pleasant hopes were not destined to be realised, and a long continuance of uncertain weather and cold nights soon gave rise to the fear 1 of an unfavourable season. Of late we have had so much dry weather that the drought has in come places been very severe. In Yorkshire it has been very severely felt. In some of the districts of the East Riding, where the rainfall has been little or nothing, the crops of beans and turnips have be come so burnt up that the fields are now being ploughed out for wheat sowing early in th e autumn. The heat and dryness have, of course, a tendency to ripen the craps prematurely, and in the south-west harvest operations have already begun. In more northern parts it is expected that they will be begun next week. In Yorkshire which we have mentioned as suffering severely from drought. There is a general complaint made of black lice which infest the wheat and oats, and it is supposed hive been occasioned by the lengthened drought. These lice n some parts appear in myriads and abound most in the neigh bourhood of hedges, the centre of a field being com paratively free from them. Some farmers do not attribute much importance to this insect plague, but think the crops will be good, though they are estimated as one-fourth lighter than last year. Barley is good and promises well, but a serious de ficiency is already felt in the supply of provender for cattle. It is said in some places that the hay harvest is only half the average, and although this may probably be an extreme view of the matter, there seems to be no doubt that great scarcity of fodder will prevail, Of course if this proves to be the case it will make meat dear in the coming winter—a result very much to be deprecated. Yorkshire and Devonshire are alike complaining of the scarcity of keep. Ia Devonshire hay has risen 50 per cent. in price within a month. The demand is brisk, although £5 per ton is being paid for it. Devonshire itself is lanaentiug the want of rain, which is much needed for the turnips, The hot weather of the last week or two has, however, been beneficial in some ways, having greatly favoured the growth of the crops. This crop it is known is one of the most precarious, and it is almost impossible to calculate with any degree of certainty early in the year as to what the proceeds will be. The hops are as yet free from disease, and although the combined influences of the cold nights and the drought have interfered with the prospects of some grounds, on the whole the appearances are satisfactory. Potatoes are promising, and we must hope they will atone to some extent for the deficiency which we may fear will exist in turnips. A fine autumn may, it is thought, do much for the latter crop, but, according to an experienced agent in the North, it is supposed that there will be nothing like an average weight. Fortunately turnips ar© no longer so absolutely indispensable to the farmer, and probably some further suggestions of improv ing or enlarging the food of cattle may be made under the pressure of scarcity. After all our in ventions we must come to mother earth for the raw material, and, in spite of all the appliances of skill and science, much of our prosperity lies under the control of sun and rain.

It must be a great satisfaction to a Minister to quit the stormy scene of Parliamentary strife, and the vexed questions that will admit of no happy solution, and engage in the more peaceful pursuits of country life. Lord PALMERSTON is always ready for anything, and of late he has certainly shone more in the secondary than in the primary duties which he is called upon to discharge; at meetings and ceremonies of all kinds he is particularly for tunate in winning approval and gaining popularity, and the affair which took place at Towcester yes terday proved no exception to the rule, for universal satisfaction seemed to be felt at the whole proceed ings. The change must have been great to the quiet little place, which has not hitherto had a railway, and altogether the scene was a very ex citing one. The whole business of the turning of the sod was got through very successfully, and the presence of Lady PALMERSTON, who performed the ceremony, gave great satisfaction. Her ladyship has set a good example in this respect to others of her clasF.i, and the fact of one in her high position thus coming forward to mix herself up in matters which relate to the traffic and business of the com munity is interesting, and it cannot bat be improv log to both sides to meet thus in a frank and friendly spirit with a source of interest common to all, and in the success of which all are alike so con cerned as the construction of railways and their in troduction into all parts of the kingdom. The ceremony over, there ,was a luncheon, at which some speeches were made, Sir CUSACK RONEY:pre. Bided, and explained the route of the line, and the vast advantages it would promote to ail parts of Northamptonshire. It is fortunate that the d.fficalties which were in the way of this line being carried out have been removed, and there is great credit due to Lady PALMERSTON for the pert she took in promoting the interests of the undertaking. Sir CUSACK RONEY brought the fact of the great services rendered to rail weya clearly before his hearers, when he told then that they had carried two hundred million perso ne during last year. Thus, said he, " every mac, woman , and child in the country may see, at imagination, that they had travelled least, in by railways at least six times during the year." It is well that these matters should be thus set forth at times, or persons really may forget to pay heed to them in the whirl of passing events, and the direc tors and managers of railways can certainly proffer thls excuse, that if there are more accidents now recorded the number of travellers is far greater. Lord PALMthTON'S remarks were appropriate, and he seemed to take a great interest in the whole rim SUN, LONTOY, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1864, Another Balloon Ascent. Last evening M. Godard made another ascent in his huge Montgolfier, or heated air balloon, from Cremorne-gardens, in the presence of some thous ands of people. From the same place, and at the same time Mr Adams ascended in a balloon called the "Prince of Wales," which was in. Bated by gas in the ordinary way; but the two in point of size and appearance were out of all compa rison, and the interest of the spectators was almost exclusively concentrated on that of M. Godard, in reference to which the other looked like a mere satellite. The vast difference in size between the two might have induced the belief that the English balloon had been selected to set di by contrast the magnificent proportions of the other, which would not have been so striking if the larger balloon of Mr Coxwell had been put in comparison with it. Still the Montgolfier is an enormous stricture, and ex ceeds in size the famous " Giant" balloon of M. Nader, being 117 ft in height, 95ft gin in circumfer ence, and 300 ft superficially, with an area of 30,000:t. It is pear-shaped, and made of canvass, but lined throughout the inside with silk. It is ornamented on the outside with representations of the French eagle, and is encircled at about :a :third of its height from the top with a parachute arrangement, resembling the wings of a bat, and divided into twenty-four compartments. The upper part of the machine is surrounded with a blue border, and from its neck or lower end the car is suspended, with the furnace immediately above, the flame of which is visible from the earth as the balloon floats among the clouds a dark gray mass, distinct in eta elegant outline. The balloon itself; with all its appendages, 'weighs upwards of 4,620ib, and its cubic capacity is 498,536. The car weighs 5851 h, and is upwards of 13ft in diameter. It is surrounded by a rail breast-high. Thefurnace for inflating the balloon is placed in the centre of the car, and weighs, with the chimney, 9801 b. It is 6ft 6in in diameter and con sists of three cylinders, so arranged as to counteract the effects of the radiated heat upon the occupants of the car, having also a metal colander inside the flue to intercept sparks from the fire below. The heated air for inflating the balloon is generated by burning rye straw, cleaned from the ears, and compressed into small bundles. For the purpose of inflation the bal. l loon is suspended from a horizontal rope attached to two masts, each upwards of 100 feet high. About three quarters of an hour in the whole were con sumed last evening in the process, which was watched with eager interest by the crowd. The stokers kept constantly feeding the furnace in the interval, with the compressed straw, until the huge mass was completely distended. There was a brisk and at one time the balloon swayed much to and fro in the process of inflation, and looked as if it would break away from its moorings. At length, all being ready, M. Godard, accompanied by several gentlemen, entered the car, and the balloon rose amid the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd. A moment or two before that Mr. Adams, in his gas balloon, ascended with the rapidity almost of a rocket, which had rather a ;ludicrous effect in comparison with the stately ascent of the other. He soared into a great height compared with M, Godard and his companions, who ap peared to be just at a convenient altitude for taking a bird's-eye view of London. Both balloons took an easterly course, that of M. Godard diverging rather more towards the north than the other, and both were watched with much interest by the crowd at the starting point until they passed out of sight. Ile Godard balloon descended on the marshes of the River Lea, near Walthamsfrow. .It ascended again, and proceeded from Mr. Boston's to Mr. Tasker's farm, where the grappling irons were thrown out and caught a tree. The balloon then swayed about with great violence against the tree, the branches of which it broke. Serious damage was done to the balloon and car. Some of the party in the car jumped out as it was descending, and one had his leg spraleed, while another was cut about the face and hands, not, it is believed, seriously. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FLOATING REFORMATORY IN THE MERSEY.—At a meeting of the Liverpool Town Council yesterday the sum of £1,500 was granted towards the expenses incurred in the fitting up of the Clarence, an old man. of-war now anchored in the Mersey, for the recep tion of Roman Catholic juvenile delinquents: The council made it a condition. that the manager of the reformatory should from time to time receive youths committed by the borough magistrates. The fifth ascent of Monte Roca this year was accomplished on July 17, and proved to be one of the most rapid and successful of the season. Two parties, consisting of Mr J. It. Fowler, with two guides, and three other gen tlemen, with three guides, left the Rifle Hotel at 2 10 a,m. reached the summit about 9 30, and after remaining there for three quarters of an hour returned to the Riffel about 3 p.m. The whole range of high Alps from Mont Blanc and the Grand Paradis to theßernese Oberland, was visible, and nothing occurred to mar the success of the expedition. A FEDERAL OP.D ER. —The following special order has been issued at Memphis :—" Head quarters, District West Tennessee, July 6.—Whereas railroad trains from Memphis t o Saulsbury (en the Memphis and Charles ton Railroad, 68 miles from Memphis), have been fired into frequently by Confederate soldiers and guerillas within the last few days; and whereas there are many persons along the line of the railroad and at Memphis who approve and encourage such murderous proceedings, it is ordered that 40 of the most prominent and bitter Secessionists in and between Memphis and Lagrange be arrested, and that 20 of them each day be placed on the cars, in the most conspi cuous positions, one being placed each side of the engines, and no train will be allowed to leave Memphis without a Secesh guard until this murderous business is desisted from. Several citizens of Memphis have publicly applauded this firing upon trains, They will be given prominent posi tions on the cars. Quarters will be fitted up for them at White Station, where they will be tenderly cared for when not on duty on trains. Brigadier-General Hatch, com manding the cavalry division, is entrusted with the execu tion of this order. By order of Major-General Washburne." A Memphis despatch of the 7th states that a number of leading citizens had been arrested and put under guard, LATEST INTELLIGENCE [ ELEUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, AUG. 2, 12 A.M. The fo:lowing Are the preliminary conditions on which the armistice has been concluded at Vienna : Complete cession to Pi nssia and Austria of Hol stein, Lauenburg, and Schleswig, together with the Jutland enclaves, the town of Rine excepted. The present occupation of Jutland by the allies to continue until the conclusion of peace. The President of the Council, yesterday, at a private sitting of the Rigsraad, communicated to the members that an armistice had been concluded at Vienna. A motion was brought forward to-day, supported by a considerab!e number of the members, to the Eff.ct that the silence with which the announce ment was yesterday received should not be con strued into an approval of the conduct of the Go vernment. BRAZIL AND RIVER PLATE NAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 4. The Royal Mail Packet Company's steamship Magdalen, with the above mails, has arrived here. She, landed 120 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 175 for this port and London, also L 30,507 in gold and £2,674 in silver, 5 packages diamond and 1,743 packages of general merchandise. Her Majesty's war vessel Forte (P) left Bahia on the 12th July, • for England, having Admiral Warren and family on board. . Oa the 20th in:y the Magdalena spoke the Britieh ship Colombo, all well—on the 21st the ship Manfred, and the steamer Oneida, with tho outward mails. The British steamer Glenyle sailed from St. Vincent, on the 23rd tilt., for Hong Kong, and the Una for the River Plato. At Buenos Ayres, Congress had authorised the President to subscribe for two thousand shares of the Argentine Central Railroad. The project for establishing several lino steamers in the rivers was still before Congress. An important land law had been introduced into the Santa Fe Legislature, authorising the sale of all the Government lards of that province at a fixEd price, varying from 5,000 silver dollars per square league to two thoosand, according to the locality. Business in the interior provinces had improved. The San Juan silver mines were at work, and, according to reports, giv;ng enormous yields. Several societies for planting cotton have been formed. The Rustras project for the redemption of the currency was to be brought before the provincial legislature. Business in Buenos Ayres was not over brisk. Sheep farmers were doing well. Conciliatory negotiations had been concluded between the Government and General Flores, and the Ministers have left Buenos Ayres for Flores' camp to have the same signed and ratified. SPAIN. MADRID, AUG. 4. The Madrid journals assert that the Queen yes terday signed the nomination of several new coun cillors of State. General. Prim is expected here to-day. Captured Train. One of the' Federal army sergeants who was in the train on the Baltimore and Philadelphia Rail road captured by the Confederates has given his account of the af f air. He says—" When we crossed Gunpowder-bridge there was a (Federal) picket at its extremity. The officer in command was stand ing as we passed with his arms folded, and allseented as quiet as the Sabbath. Just after having turned the curve beyond the picket the breaks were sud denly put on, a shot was fired, followed a moment after by a volley. Had the engineer reversed his engine instead of jumping from it the train might' have been saved. Oa the entrance of the rebels into the cars all officers in uniform were compelled to descend, and were marched along in advance of the train to a clear field near the depot. On going to the pl ace where the baggage had been thrown from the train I found a lively scene going on, superin tended by certain ladies. An order had apparently been issued that the baggage of ladies should be respected. In order to discover what articles of baggage belonged to officers, these ladies asked those present to point out theirs; all baggage not thus claimed was at once broken open and pillaged. The namea of some of those ladies I discovered to be Miss D,, of Baltimore (afterwards, I was informed, ar rested at Hitvre de Grace with a re b e l mail in her pos session' ; Mrs H. and a Mrs P. and party,also of Bal timore, on their way to Newport. It is almost impos sible to describe their conduct during that day; their exuberant enthusiasm over the rebel flag, their familiar iltereourse with the various rebel officers and soldiers. It is simply necessary to say that be fore he left Major Gilmor e h a d no t a button left on his coat, all having been cut o ff to present to these friends. The rifling of the baggage was mainly superintended by them, and the owners abuse d and insulted by every Speci es o f asse rtion and argu ment. Bundles of my clothing were done up and sent on to various person s me ntioned by name by them through some of the soldiers. I arrived here with nothing but a toothbrush and five p a p er collars picked up from th e groun d. Now, as to the gallant conduct of th e ' s t ron g gnaid,' said by the Papers to have been st a ti one d at the bridge , and p their knowledge of th e i r m ili tar y duties, I will state that the first train wa s s t op p e d and burnt within a little over a mile of th e i r ost ,wit h ou t anything being known by them, s o th a t our t r ain blundered into the same snare; that on t h e appe arance of a few rebels they incontinently ran f or th e bridge, leaving every thing behind, and were actually caug ht u p on the bridgeby our t ra i n, wh i c h h a d been set on fire and run an back upon the bridge , and one of these gallant men was knocked into the water by it and drowned. The officer a n d hi s comman d then took refuge on the steamer, and at night when we w ere movin g the trunks and passengers aboard the same, sen t a re quest on sho re t o h ave th e ir tents struck and their company property saved for them. I would state that in the even i ng one o f the engines was suffi ciently repaired to be run ahead to the Bush 11,ver bridge, where it was so tremendously shelled by our gunboat stationed there that it was abandoned, which accounts f or the story I have seen in the papers, that th e enem y were repulsed, ran an engine to the river, and that the engine was captured the next day by a party landed."—New I ork Times. A YACHT FOR GARIBALDI.—The committee have at length resolved to secure for Garibaldi the yacht belonging to Lord Burghley• The Osprey is 35 tone burden, yawl rigged. Length from forepart of stem under bowsprit to aft side of head of stern post 51.4-10 feet, main breadth 12 7-10 feet, depth in hold from tonnage deck to ceiling at mielshirs 6 6-10 feet, head room in cabins 61 feet. There are two berths in the main cabin, two small ditto in the quarter, one double berth in the ladies' cabin, and one in the skipper's cabin. Lord Burghley has lately spent about £1,5'0 upon her, and she is now undergoing a thorough overhaul, Tho Osprey had been to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean, to the north of Scotland, Ireland, &0., and is a first-rate sea boat, Admiral Mundy, in a letter to Colonel Chambers, says : "The Osprey will answer the general's purposes. She only draws nine feet of water, and has a good character in every respect, being an excellent sea boat in bad weather. She is having a thorough refit, and will be ready next week. Two men and a boy, besides the master, will be sufficient to man her. Being what is called dandy rigged,' she will bo very handy, and can proceed immediately to Caprera." The committee have been urged, in consequence of the present delicate state of Garibaleli's health, to send out the yacht immediately to Caprers,— Liverpoi Nfrenry. DENMARK AND GERMANY, (From the limes' Correspondent.) ELSINORE, July 30. The men•of-war of the Danish squadron which came in on Saturday last and made so goodly a show as they lay at anchor off Humlebeck, after no more than a week's rest, again pawed us this morn ing, at an early hour, outward bound. We also saw a large steamer, laden with troops, following them at some distance, and making her way out of the Sound. Her destination was Funen. The land and sea forces of Danmark are going back to their former stations. The suspension of hostilities ter minates to-morrow at noon ; and unless tidings of a new armistice or of peace reach us from Vienna before that t;me we shall, for the third time, find ourselves in a state of open war. There are men, indeed, here about me who are so fully convinced that to-morrow will usher in a new outbreak of hostilities, and whom the idea of the possibility of an attack of the Germans on the shores of the Sound inspires with so much uneasiness that, in their panic, they are once more deliberating as to the expediency of providing for their safety by conveying them selves, their gold, plate, and otter valuables across the water into Sweden. I need scarcely tell you that I by no means share their alarm. At the time of the expiration of the truce, at the close of the London Conference, June 2Gth, I expreesed my firm conviction that war could not recommence in real earnest. What occurred between that day and the 26th of this month was in fact, not real war, The Germans only accom. plished in Satileswig and Jutland what they had, from motives of their own, left unachieved in April. They rook Als, which was never intended to effzr any serious resistance, and drove the Danes from their last hold of the Peninsula across the Liim- Fiord, and from those western isles the garrisons of which were instructed only to "pretend" to stand their ground. Had the Austro-Prussians been bent on a real trial of strength they should and would have attempted a landing in Funen. The war on the mainland was over at the fall of Dybbol, and there never was any doubt that if the Germans chose to fight at all they must take io their ships and come over to Funen or Zealand, or, rather, before they did that, they must grapple with the Danes at sea, and strike a blow with a view to establish their maritime superiority, and open their way so as to come to close quarters with their enemy under the walls of his capital. It is this kind of final, decisive war that I do not expect to see waged before my eyes at this moment. The Danish Government and those of the two great German Powers have hardly been free agents at any period during all these melancholy transactions. The two nations (or nationalities, if the word suits better) were eager for the fray, and the rulers at their head had the alternative of either leading the movement, by giving in to it, or being dragged into action in spite of themselves. So far as it depended on the commanders on either side, the war was at all times slowly carried on. The Danish policy was throughout a yielding one; one line after the other, one stronghold after the other was given up, always in obedience tp necessity, yet always with a hope that each successive serious loss might sober the excited feelings of the people, and how them to their fate. On the other hand, the Germans advanced by mighty strides, but only by fits and starts. They struck heavy blows, hoping that each one might be the stunning and finishing one, but always under compulsion to proceed further and further, in the impossibility either of falling back or coming to a final stand. The Governments on either side, I repeat, never went with deliberate purpose into this fatal war. The real contest was between them and their people •—between the upholders of the present order of things and the revolutionary opposition. In this contest the constituted authorities have now very nearly secured the upper hand. The Danes have been brought into that frame of mind that their King may announce a peace almost on any terms Such, at least, was the disposition of the people of this country a few days ago. The conviction that Denmark had beon utterly.forsaken by the neutral Powers, and that she was alone, had at length brought about a consciousness of the utter ira possibility of prolonging such a contest. War being out of the question, peace became a necessity; and the vanquished must resign himself to pay the casts of war, however heavy they may fall upo❑ him. Of late, however, the magniloquent tirades of the French press have given new food to the ever-reviving illusions of the Danes. "If Germany is not of one mind," the Danes say, "if the Bund end the minor Princes and the National party are still in a position to brave all the power of Austria and Prussia, and France is going to support their pretension, and place herself at the head of a new Confederacy of the Rhine, why should Denmark strike her colours, why should she throw down her cards and give up the game, just as matters are about to take a favourable turn ? ' No doubt, if the present negotiations come to naught, if M. Quaade comes back from Vienna with no better conditions than he obtained in London, or if the conditions he brings back are of a nature that the Government here dare not make public—if, consequently, the thunder of war once more awaken the echoes along the shores of the Little Belt, the new complication of affairs must be ascribed to the attitude lately taken up by France. If France is going to meddle with the matter, of course the question is as far from its solution, and Europe exposed to as great a danger, as ever; but if, as it is more natural to presume, the language of the French press is mere empty sound, and the two principals in this ill -matched duel are still to be alone on the ground, as they have been since February, then the war may be considered as hav ing been long since virtually at.an end, and the new outbreak of hostilities, if it must needs occur, will be mere make-believe. On the part of Denmark, at least, resistance will be mere matter of form. JuYL 30, Evening. Jest as I am about to close my letter the rumour gains ground, confirmed by telegrams from Vienna, that the armistice had been prolonged. I hear also confident assertions that the Danish Government has accepted, or is ready to accept, all the condi tions imposed by the German Powers, and to obtain peace by acceeding to all their demands. Whale ver we may believe as to the truth of these reports, there is no doubt but the King's Govern ment here keeps up all the appearance of a stubborn determination for resistance, inasmuch as in obedi ence to a recent decree they are now calling in all the conscripts due for the year 1865, a measure by which they will increase the only by about 5,00 u or 6,000. Elopement of a Clergyman's Wife with her Man-Servant, At the Castle of Exeter on Monday, before A. H. A. Hamilton, EN., and J. W. Sillifant, Esq., John Mutters was charged with stealing 13 silver teaspoons, two pairs of sugar-tongs, a box, ,and a silver watch, the property of his master, John Fluewellin, and also with eloping with Mr Fluewellin's wife. Prosecutor, on being examined, said he was a clergyman of Mount Radford. On Thursday last he missed two boxes and the plate named in the indictment from his house. His wife also went away that morning. On finding the articles missing he gave information, and had since recovered his property. Police•constable Pearse said that on Saturday last he went to the house of Mrs Slade, Southgate-street, Bath, Ind there found the prisoner and Mrs Fluewellin in a room with a Led in it, taking refreshments. Ho there charged Mutters with stealing a box, 13 silver spoons, and other things, the property of the prosecutor. He said, " I have not stolen anything, but what I took was with the consent of her" (meaning Mrs Fluewellin). Mrs Fluewellin said, " Yes, I ordered hire to got a fly, and take' my box away. I and my husband had a quarrel the tight before, and I d.termined I would not live with him any longer." Witness left the room for a minute or two, and. on returning, Mrs Fluewellin opened a box which contained all the plate above mentioned. On searching the prisoner afterwards he found a watch on him which had belonged to the prosecutor. The case has created a great deal of excitement amongst the lower classes of the city, as the rev. gentleman and his wife were supposed to have been a very happy couple; but they appear to have had a quarrel on the Wednesday night, and the frail wife having taken a fancy to her husband's ser • vent, took her flight.— Western Daily Mercury.

THE PETITION OF RIGHT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The wide circulation which your journal has given to the statements of the Attorneys-General for England and Ireland, in their endeavour to prevail on the House of Commons to afford its sanction to relax the exercise of its great prerogative, namely, that of carrying an address to the Sovereign, where the rights and liberties of the subject are being imperilled, as evidenced on the face of the offi cial documents, hitherto withheld (but now insisted on by the hon. and learned member for the King's County, as laid before the house in my case), will, I hope, induce you to find space for the following statement. Suffice it to say, that the bar of Ireland felt the wrongs inflicted on me so strongly as to forbid my being disbarred. I feel assured that neither the Right Hon. Mr O'Hagan nor Sir Roundell Palmer would intentionally state any thing that they did not believe to be true and correct ; and that consequently they had been misted by the documents which were so recently placed in their hands; but the fact is surely beyond all doubt that their statements put an un true complexion on the whole affair, and misled the, House of Commons. This manifestly appears not only by the documents now on record in the House of Commons, and open to the in spection of every member, but by the facts which her most gracious Majesty herself is personally awaro of, together with her noble lords in waiting. I will take a few in stances ; first, as to facts, and secondly, as to the law, as stated and relied upon by the learned functionaries. The Attorney General for Ireland, stated to the house, that my letter of the 30th September, 1836, addressed to the law advisers of the Crown, Chief Secretary's Department, Dublin Castle, clearly proved that my case, as to the missing letter, was a mere afterthought, and that " I did not venture to say to the law officers, who prosecuted me, that they had suppressed evidence." The Irish Attorney-General will find that upwards of three months previous to the 30th September, 1836, namely, in May, 1836, the House of Commons had actually printed in its appendix to 17th report on public petitions, at page 566, my petition, which Col. French, the hon. member for the county of Roscommon, presented, stating as follows : " That the suppression of .the aforesaid official documents by the then officers of the Crown in Ireland, so conclusive of petitioner having had the sanction of said Johnston, was the committal of a great outrage upon the chaiacter, the feelings, and the liberty of a subject, which ought to be the object and especial °are of the Crown ;" and that although " I particularly required the production of said original official letter of the 12th October, 1831, to said Chief Secretary from said Robert Johnston, Esq., which had the post mark dates thereon, and which letter peti tioner discovered the existence of, same was not produced, nor how the Chief Secretary disposed of same in any manner accounted for, and only a document. purporting to be a copy thereof, produced, which had no reference to the post mark dates thereon," Facts are stubborn things, and it is therefore manifest from the date of the petition, May, 1836, that in the follow ing month of September, 1836, the missing letter was not a more afterthought, as the Irish Attorney-General so fallaci ously assured the House of Commons, and also that I did say to the law officers of the Crown who prosecuted me that they had suppressed evidence. By the right hon. gentleman directing his attention to the petition which, in October, 1837, my noble relative, the Countess of Charlemont, then is waiting on the Queen, presented, to be laid in the proper constitutional manner before her Majesty, and also to the petition which:l had the yew great honour of presenting myself to the Queen in person, at her Majesty's levee on the 20th February, 1839, he will see that I did venture to say that the officers of the Crown, who prosecuted me, did suppress evidence. I have also now before me a letter which the Earl of Fingall addressed to me, dated June 9th 1839, stating therein as follows :—" I recollect perfectly having, as the Lord in Waiting, at the last levee, read to her Majesty the object of a petition presented by you." If there was ono duty in a discussion on such a grave constitutional question—than which none could be of higher import—which belonged to enlightened men holding the high places of Attorneys-General for England and for Ire land, and which affected the Royal Prerogative not to deny right or justice, it was, that they did not by any licence of speech or any carelessness, mislead the House of Commons by a statement of facts, which our most gracious Sovereign personally and the records of the House of Commons are able to controvert, or to mislead the house in even one single point of law. In dealing with the question of law, a misleading ten dency pervaded the speech of the learned Attorney-General for England, who evidently made a vain attempt to draw the mind of the house away from fixing itself with becom ing intensity on the invasion of the rights and liberties of the people. The simple point atissue between the servants of the Crown and myself being, whether the right hon. gentle man the Home Secretary and the Attorney-General for Eng land (who, the learned member for the Queen's County so truly designated, as the real defendants in the case) had a constitutional right to I substitute their own Ministerial authority in lieu of the proper judicial tribunals of the country, appointed by law. They would, in fact, decide in their own favour, without hearing me, although " audi alteram partem" is a maxim cc law as old and authoritative as law itself. It was scarcely conceivable that so learned and enlight ened a personage as the present Attorney-Generel for Eng land, with his knowledge of the law, could imagine that a subject of her Majesty, who claimed, according to an act of Parliament (23d and 24th Vict,, c. 31, s. 1), to rest secure beneath the ample shield of the Lord Chief Justice of England and a jury of Middlesex, was to have his lordship's Court closed against the subject by Mini sterial authority ? . • I complain, too, of the way in which the Attorney- General for England quoted Blackstone for the purpose of making out his cue, sithout having ventured to con trovert the authorities relied on by the learned member for the King's County. The Attorney-General stopped short in his quotations from Blackstone, when he came to that part which had reference to the servants of the Crown, "for whom the law, in matters of right, enter• tarns no respect or delicacy" (but according to Black stone, vol. 111., chap, xvii., pp. 233-6), furnishes various methods of detecting the errors and misconduct of those agents by whom the King has been deceived, and induced to do a temporary injustice," My perseverance for so many years to vindicate ray character from the stain cast upon it, by the suppression of documents now admitted to be available, is but a duty which I owe to my sovereign, to my noble relations, to the bar, to the public (whose rights and liberties are being im perilled), and to myself. This duty I shall not cease in every constitutional manner to discharge, until the genuine ness of those documents is proved, and validity thereby given to the award of the Lord High Chancellor of Eng land, who reported to the Home Office, that if those copies were genuine, " I suffered grievous injustice." Mr O'Hagan stated " that the opinion of the present Lord Chancellor was based cn the assumption that Mr Irwin's statement was to be relied on, and that there was no opposing testimony, Ho himself, Mr O'Hagan, pro ceeding on that assumption, was equally ready to admit that Mr Irwin was a wronged man." I take Mr 0' Hagan at his word, and with my Petition of Right in one hand, and the Petition of Right Act in the other, dare him to the combat. My glove is on this page. That issue is in accordance with the prayer of my Petition of Right; and I claim therefore that the documents, now admitted to be available, may be submitted to the Lord Chief Justice of England and a jury of Middlesex, for their decision, pursuant to the rights and liberties of every British subject, and the good laws of the realm.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE O'MALLEY IRWIN. August 2, 1861. MURDER ON THE SEAS.--.One of those fatal affray's which unfortunately have been of frequent occurrence of late on board ship recently took place on board the British schooner Florence, of St Kitts, while on a voy age from Key West to New York. On the arrival of the Florence at New York, on June 22, the captain reported at the British consulate that one of the seamen, named Edward John, had been stabbed during the voyage by another of the crew, named Charles Blackman. It appears that shortly after the vessel sailed some angry feeling—from some cause nut explained —sprung up between Blackman and John, and during the first part of the voyage frequent quarrels took place between them. On one occasion an altercation occurred between them, when Blackman stabbed John, and although every assistance was given to him, the injured man died from the effects of the wound a few hours after. Mr. P. Edwards, acting British consul at that port, know ing that the local courts would take no cognisance of a crime committed under such circumstances, applied at once to a United States Commissioner, obtained a warrant, and had Blackman committed to gaol on a charge of murder. The prisoner was subsequently taken before one of the United States courts, and on an application being made to Mr Seward he was ordered to be handed over to the Brit.ah authorities under the extradition treaty. He was given into the charge of Inspector Farley, of the New York detective force—a gentleman who on former occasione has rendered good service to the Liverpool police—and by him taken on board the Cunard steamer Kedar, to be brought to Liverpool. A telegram was received yesterday at the detective office that the vessel, with Mr Palley and the prisoner on board, was off Qeeenstown, and Detective Inspector Carlisle and Detective Jones were instructed to be in waiting for her arrival, so that the accused might be handed over to their custody. After waiting some time,. the vessel being detained at th e b ar ow i ng to the lowness of the tide, the officers went out in a tender, when the man was handed over to them, and he was taken to bridewell. He is a strong-built man of colour, and he seems to look upon the affair with the greatest nonchalance. ANECDOTE OF MARSHAL DE MACMATION, DUKE OF MAGENTA.—Daring the Crimean war when in command of the first division, he received orders to take Fort Malakoff by assault. After a terrible struggle, in which his men could only advance by fighting hand to hand, he obtained a footing within the works. He then with a pencil wrote one line to the commander-in-chief, which, for simplicity, has never been surpassed. It was— "J' y sots, et j y res ts," which he certainly did,—ViC Pat ?s Correspondent of a ittorniv ContenVl.4lW' ut - ira 61111 evarkr, HER MAJESTY, OSBORNE, Aug.. 3: The Queen and Princess Louise, attended by Lady Augusta Stanley and Lieut..
